Kickdown. 1 piece vs 2 piece rod

[Sonny]

For my 440/727 1970 rr.
I want to replace my lokar linkage with factory Kickdown linkage. I know the ‘70 uses the 2 piece but was told the ‘71 and up 1 piece works too (and it’s 1/2 the price). Is this the case?

Not sure it has the clearance for the one piece.

Yeah it does look tight that’s why I was unsure.

I tried the 1 piece on my 70 Charger. Didn't work. Maybe a RR is different.

If it won't fit a Road Runner, it won't fit a Charger.
If the Lokar doesn't work, consider a Bouchillon setup. I have had one in my '70 Charger since 2001 and it works as well as an untouched factory setup would.

The Lokar works fine. Just wanted a factory look. Guess I’ll pay double for the two piece. Thanks.
